Finally, TheSkiDiva goes Instagram!

[ski diva]

Maybe it's because I'm old, or maybe it's because there's just so much social media around that it's tough to get a handle on it all -- but until today, TheSkiDiva has never had an Instagram account. Sure, we've long been on Twitter and Facebook. And yes, we've had this forum and blog for 12 years. But somehow Instagram just fell through the cracks. Anyway, I just created an account. No posts yet, but maybe if some of you decide give it a follow, I'll get motivated to post once in a while.

Followed! I have an instagram account, but I don't actually use it all that much.

I love IG because it's almost purely visual. I don't post a lot either.

Followed! I left Facebook several years ago, but spend time on instagram now. I don’t post often, but I enjoy the photos In my feed!

I too just opened an Instagram account. And suddenly three people were following me! And I don't have a single thing on it! I have to confess I'm not even sure what to do with it. Just photos? Have to ask my kids.

Yeah its photos and video heavy social media account. I opened one this spring so I could follow pro skiers. They seem to use instagram the most. I am using facebook less and less each year. Ive never been much of a twitter user

@theskidiva or @skidiva? Which is it?

 

[geargrrl]

Instagram is fun because it is just photos!!! I just put up whatever photos I want, whether it's my PT rehab, what I'm cooking, something I saw, a bike ride... Sure I have followers but to me it's not like the friend thing. There are lots of folks who just like my photos or have a common interest that I have no idea who they are and it's ok. Not like when someone on FB wants to follow you and you don't know who they are. Instagram is just about the photos.

I follow people I don't know and have followers who I don't know. I blocked a few for a while, then decided that was a waste of time. I also have blocked ads I don't want to see. But there are some amazing photographers out there.

 

[Belgiangirl]

Woohoo, followed you! I love Instagram and use it a lot. To post pictures, keep track of friends and family but also to drool at pro skier movies, to research destinations through the location tags, check current conditions for big resorts... and to pester the BF with stupid cartoons

Another cool thing is that if we all tag our ski photos @theskidiva_forum, they will all show up in the same feed. It's a fun way to share our phtotos. I'm @geargrrl btw

I love Instagram for the reasons mentioned, plus I am super political on Facebook, so it's a nice change to just share photos.

and big LOL. I stay mindful of what I post to FB, moderately so, but my instagram and twitter are "anything goes".

 

[geargrrl]

I just tagged some photos from 16-17 to put some content in the feed. I didn't have a ski season last year.

 

[ski diva]

I did it! I made my first posts! I'm not sure how consistent I'll be, but at least there's something there now.
